I ' r Subject: Stormwater Permit No: SW1070701 `- Wendy's & Retail Shops - Cashiers High Density Commercial Permit Jackson County The Stormwater Permitting Unit received a complete Stormwater Management Permit Application for Wendy's & Retail Shops on September 24, 2007. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined.that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000. We are forwarding Permit No. SW1070701, dated September 25, 2007, for the construction of the subject project. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supercede any other agency permit that may be required. Please pay special attention to the Operation and Maintenance requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system will result in future compliance problems. Please note that due to constraints with this particular site, this permit is approved with the wetland not having a shallow land area feature due to the use of a retaining wall,in order to maintain the required vegetated buffer. Therefore, some additional volume above the minimum is being treated. This 0.074 acre stormwater wetland is being built in place of an existing 0.022 acre natural wetland.., If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

The constructed slormwater wetland is not working as designed. Specifically, the wetland is filling entirely with groundwater to the level where it overflows the weir. The weir was designed to only overflow in response to a 24-hr 25 year storm. The weir is constantly overflowing at this time, per the construction superintendent, Mark Jarrard. The wetland had been pumped down prior to the inspection. Pumping was still occuring at the time of the inspection. The water being. discharged to the receiving water was turbid. Mr. Jarrard was instructed to cease pumping. He and the engineer were instructed that in the event that they needed to pump out the wetland they were not to increase turbidity in the stream by more than 10 NTUs. The 30-foot buffer on the site had been cleared. The clearing activity was done by Duke Energy to install new powerlines. The inspector is working with Mr. Robert Patterson of the DWQ SWP SWPU and the engineer to determine what needs to be done so that the wetland 1) functions as designed and permitted, or 2) to redesign and modify the permit so that DWQ rules are followed. An NOV is being issued to the facility, but will be generated using the NCGO10000 permit.

This permit applies to projects that receive a Division of Land Resources (DLR) (or local delegated program - Jackson County) for disturbance of 1 acre or greater. Specifically, the General Permit (NCGO1000) authorizes discharge of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in accordance with Title.15 A North Carolina Administrative Code 2H.0100. a. Rain Gauge (Part I. Section B. No. 1.) A rain gauge was not observed on the site at the time of inspection. b. Rain Gauge Data (Part I. Section B. No. 1.) Rain gauge data, measured daily, was not recorded and available for review. Minimum Monitoring and Record Keeping (Part I. Section B. No. 3) Inspection records of erosion & sedimentation control measures and stormwater discharges, collected weekly and after every half -inch or greater rain event, were not recorded and available for review. Requested Response This Office requests that you respond to in writing within 15 days of receipt of this Notice. Your response should be sent to both the attention of Starr Silvis, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70, Swanannoa, NC 28778 and Mr. John Hennessy at the Wetlands and Stormwater Branch,. NPS Assistance and Compliance Oversight Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699- 1617. Your response should address the following items: NCG010000 Permit Condition Violations 1. Please detail the events that resulted in non-compliance with the above -mentioned NPDES NCGO10000 permit conditions. 2. Please explain.when you anticipate being in full compliance with the Construction Stormwater Permit and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. 3. Finally, you should include in your response an explanation of how you propose to prevent these problems from reoccurring on this project and on future projects. 4. Minimum Monitoring and Record Keeping —Please refer to the attached Stormwater Inspection Form for General Permit NCGO10000. This form is to be filled out every week and after each % inch rain event. The following bulleted list provides guidance on how to conduct monitoring and record keeping activities in such a way as to be compliant with NCGO10000. • Rainfall is to be monitored and recorded daily as noted in the RAINFALL section of the form. Rainfall data should not be reported based on a weekly accrual read of the date of the inspection. • Erosion and Sedimentation Control Facilities are to be inspected every week and after each %z inch rain event. It is required to.individually list each of the BMPs (e.g. basins, silt fences, etc.) to be inspected, the date and time inspected, the initials of the inspector, whether the device is operating properly and any corrective actions taken as noted in the Mr, Harris 4/04/2008 Page 3 of 3 EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL FACILITES INSPECTED section of the form. • Stormwater Discharge Outfalls are to be inspected every week and after each % inch rain event. It is required to individually list each of the outfalls to be inspected, the date and time inspected, the initials of the inspector, clarity, floating and suspended solids, oil sheen, other pollution indicators, visible sediment, and any preventative or corrective actions taken as noted in the OBSERVATIONS OF RUNOFF AT STORM WATER DISCHARGE OUTFALLS section of the form. • Finally, the Permittee (Financially Responsible Party as indicated on Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan application) is required to sign the inspection form each week, certifying that the report is accurate and complete.

The constructed stormwater wetland is not working as designed. Specifically, the wetland is filling entirely with groundwater to the level where it overflows the weir. The weir was designed to only overflow in response to a 24-hr 25 year storm. The weir is constantly overflowing at this time, per the construction superintendent, Mark Jarrard. The wetland had been pumped down prior to the inspection. Pumping was still occuring at the time of the inspection. The water being discharged to the receiving water was turbid. Mr. Jarrard was instructed to cease pumping. He and the engineer were instructed that in the event that they needed to pump out the wetland they were not to increase turbidity in the stream by more than 10 NTUs. The 30-foot buffer on the site had been cleared. The clearing activity was done by Duke Energy to install new powerlines. The inspector is working with Mr. Robert Patterson of the DWQ SWP SWPU and the engineer to determine what needs to be done so that the wetland 1) functions as designed and permitted, or 2) to redesign and modify the permit so that DWQ rules are followed. An NOV is being issued to the facility, but will be generated using the NCGO10000 permit. Misc Is the facility compliant? - Comment: The stormwater wetland which was permitted does not have any treatment volume available due to groundwater filling the entire volume. w m a No 7 s N a�JME M1 W O _7;E Er O o 0 In 0 N M -0 Q m M — Er rq R. �` ~ ED _ 0 Q (� = 'ostmerk Here�� Bitlo ORestr �I� e6 O N 7 O (Entlo _ W N J O _ Toe `LJ_ a}�i� Z Z O I— It 0 S sent O t1J N 0 O Z ❑�Minz f1J Street C3 or PO.

They were not aware that the site was subject to construction stormwater permitting. They were very concerned about their non-compliance and assured the inspector that they would comply ASAP. A rainguage was purchased and installed that day. Several issues were noted that were brought to their attention. 1) drop inlets had filter fabric installed to catch large particles. The fabric was loose in the drop inlets that were inspected. 2) Sill fencing was not trenched in The inspector suggested that they check with Mr. Steve Beasley of Jackson County Erosion and Sediment Control Office regarding compliance with that permit.
